Going off piste again....

[davidsl500]

I had quite an expensive cup of coffee and pastry on Monday this week which resulted in a vacant space in my garage yesterday.... I had to wear a hat, dark glasses and overcoat to avoid being spotted going in and out of the particular main dealer in question..... I may do my own Cardle quiz next week when the mystery replacement arrives..

Yes, the SLK has gone, hopefully to an eventual good home. I loved every minute with it and I shall miss it in many ways - especially when driving on my own... Still, I had three and a half years of great fun but it does get boring looking at lorry wheels on the motorway..

Should have sold it on the condition that the new owner becomes a new member of this forum so we can track it’s future

Nissan Puke, calling it now, going ugly early…

 

[fabes]

Nah, he mentioned pastry. (Subliminal clue I reckon )

Ruling out a Danish (as they don't make cars), I'll see your Nissan Puke and raise you with a Croissant and something French....
Stick or twist on the Puke ?

 

[flying haggis]

renault twingo

Facelifted version from 2019 on is quite nice to look at and drive, wife and daughter have both bought one.

It wasn't a hint, I had a latte, a biscuit and a pastry whilst waiting. The better half had a hot chocolate and pastry - which won't help either...

 

[fabes]

Drat!
And neither the hot chocolate or pastry help.....

A Latte eh!?
So it's Italian then

And with that level of exotic catering (bet it was a posh biscuit) I am also ruling out Dacia

 

[AndySlade]

Another Merc?

He’s going off Piste Andy. I smell a B*W if you will excuse the bad language

“Quite nice” dammed with faint praise if ever I read it…

@davidsl500 is definitely going for a small non Mercedes Stupid Utility Vehicle

It was new when I read it…

 

[00slk]

I think the clue was in the 'boring looking at lorry wheels on the motorway'.........He's buying a lorry, hard to see the wheels being so high up

 

[Timeandleisure]

Bentayga, DBX or F-Pace

 

[AndySlade]

Fiat Panda 4X4, well you did say “off-piste”.

 

[Frontstep]

Going for it, Helicopter.
